I have been using Safe for a couple years now. The directions were for dry use . I mixed my safe with water in a opaque bottle since the beginning. I originally thought the mixture strong for no good reason..I even conducted test with a chlorine test kit where I could dose as low as 1/4 of the recommended amount and still [by test] have removed chlorine completely in a 30g barrel in less then 10 minutes...
The old directions were 1 teaspoon for every 200g...I was mixing 5 tsp per 500ml. to have a concentration that needed 1mg liquid per 2g..
Now in new bottling the directions have changed.
They say 1/4 teaspoon per 300 g.. It looks like my experiment readings may have been very close..
What I don't get is their math? At 1 tsp. per 200g the kilo said it treated 200,000 g [I am on my4-5 kilo !]..Now with using less then 1/4 the amount recommended before they say a kilo treats 240,000g...???
Wouldn't 200k times 4 be a lot more then 240K???
I feel the need to test even lower doses now !
I never had a problem with my test and really feared very little..I have a test kit from another top notch keeper who is a retired chemist so I really trust it....
What is everyones take on this and who uses safe??? You all just started saving way more then before IMO....
